French style has greatly influenced our culture, language, cuisine, wine, art, and architecture. The French spirit can also be experienced in our interior furnishings. French furniture is timeless and can mix easily with contemporary, country, or elegant traditional styles. Reupholster a family heirloom or flea market find, and you can make it look fresh again. Time-worn finishes add character to the pieces. French reproductions are also now readily available and allow for many design choices. French style can add a “joie de vivre” (joy of living) to your home. LYNN HOAGLIN
